Answer

The consolidated overview of funding requests from local authorities and iwi following recent severe weather events, as noted in 'Appendix 1: Additional talking points' to the 12 March 2026 briefing 26-BRF-00516: Meeting With Gisborne District Council To Discuss Waste Minimisation And Severe Weather Recovery, was prepared by the National Emergency Management Agency for the Associate Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery. I have not received it in my capacity as Minister for the Environment.
